While its musical aesthetic is just as “laid-back California girl” as ever, the lyrics are uncompromising.
“Norman Fucking Rockwell”Del Rey comes out of the gate strong with this blistering judgment on a very, very bad guy; the song’s title references a classic vision of America that this album duly subverts and critiques.You can see my heart burning in the distance / Baby, baby, baby, I’m your man
Once, her songs detailed heartbreak over men who’d leave a woman behind, but it feels like this time around, Del Rey is positioning herself as the locus of power. It’s a beautiful thing to see.
here, is one of the few hints that this sultry, languid song isn’t an LDR original. Unless you were familiar with the original, you’d never guess.Yes, here’s the fatalistic romantic we know and love.As expected, there’s no shortage of heartbreak anthems on. These lines are delivered in a whispering falsetto that’s hard to make out, as if she can hardly bear to say it.
On past albums, Del Rey has often evoked the femme fatale or the lost woman, so the opposite archetype—the girl who escaped the big city for a quieter life—seems even more restful in comparison.Del Rey adds to the great canon of California songs with this wistful ballad entreating a former lover abroad to get in touch.We were so obsessed with writing the next best American record / ‘Cause we were just that goodjust that good.
If Del Rey was only deploying some slightly past-it slang, this might read as laughable. But it’s hard not to see “lit” in both its recent party sense as well as the more literal “the world is on fire” sense. It’s a phrase that captures millennial exhaustion with a dry, flammable wit.You’ll just have to trust me on this one—it’s all about the delivery.
